Cooling and AC Repair

Thousand Oaks's AC Repair and Cooling System Specialists

The expert mechanics at Bennett Automotive in Thousand Oaks know how to help high-performance drivers and engines keep their cool. At Bennett Automotive we offer AC repair for high-performance cars and trucks including BMW, Audi and Mercedes Benz.

When it comes to cooling, we offer so much more than just air conditioning repair. As high-performance car owners add EFI, superchargers or use alternative fuels, heat builds up in the engine. That can reduce performance and cause high cost auto repairs down the road.

Come to Bennett Automotive and let us diagnose issues with heat build-up. Every day we install quality high-performance oil coolers, radiators with high flow water pumps and flex fans for driving enthusiasts in Thousand Oaks. Need a high flow thermostat with a 180-degree open temperature rating so you can get back in the race fast? When it comes to keeping your engine cool on the track or around town, Bennett Automotive is the name you can trust.

What People Say About Us

Brent always does a professional job. I have been going to this garage for almost 10 years. Never had a problem he could not fix. Even gave my son, a budding auto mechanic, suggestion as my son rebuilt his car. The online service is great for making appointments and seeing past and future maintenances.

In the middle of a heatwave the last thing you need is your AC to be on the fritz. I was trying to be cheap and tried diy and soon realized this needs to be left to the pros. I found Bennett's Automotive and was impressed with the reviews so I called and Brent quoted me less than any shop. I went to his shop and was impressed. He's very professional and doesn't sugarcoat things. He's up front and to the point when it comes to prices. Unlike most mechanics these days that throw surprise costs at you at the time of checkout. Needless to say my AC is blowing nice cool air and I can now cruise with my windows up and be comfortable. I'll be back for future maintenance.

As always, Bennett Automotive provided me with expert service. Brent is responsive, reliable, and I've finally found a mechanic I trust. It's easy to get an appointment there, and Brent will always check first before doing the work - no surprises. Brent will also take time to explain all aspects of the work to be done. I've already referred a friend. Thanks Brent!

Dependable, honest, straightforward and fair. Both professional and personable. Brent takes care of what your car needs and won't try to sell you stuff or work that it doesn't. He's a local small business owner who is focused on his customers and not some corporate HQ bottom line. Besides, he'll probably save you money over the chain shops -- both in pricing on work done and in avoiding unneeded work!

Mark W.

Brett was very helpful and professional in getting my problem solved. I signed a release to let the evaluation of the problem go on and to pay for one hour for the diagnostic exam. That's all it took! He figured it out and did the job and my car was ready to go. Excellent business. Trustworthy, fair, honest, professional. All you could ask for.

Stephen D.

I took my 2003 PT cruiser to Bennett's Car Care after another mechanic did a faulty timing belt repair and then a large chain auto repair shop couldn't find the problem. Brent found the source of the problem and fixed it in a timely manner with a fair price.

Tim S.

Need a reliable mechanic who will treat you with respect and honesty, Bennetts automotive repair services in Thousand Oaks, CA is the place to take your car for brake repair, routine check ups and problems that may arise!
I trust Bennett's 100% and would refer anyone I know to them for maintenance or vehicle problems.

Kelly W.

I can't sing enough praises for Brent. Bennett Automotive does great work at an honest and fair price. This is the only auto repair shop that I fully trust. Bill's Quality Automotive once quoted me almost $2000 for a job, then I took it to Brent and paid $50 to repair the AC and left a happy customer. Now the car is 11 years old and the AC STILL works!

Karen S.

Bennett automotive is a wonderful place to take your car for repairs. Brent in my opinion, runs his shop with professionalism and honesty. His pricing is fair for the work that he performs, and he keeps you informed about any additional repairs that are needed. You will never need another mechanic if you go to Bennett's!

It is hard to find a trustworthy mechanic in Thousand Oaks. When we came across Bennett several years ago, we went to Brent for a second opinion; the first auto shop took a look under the hood and said it would be about $1200 to fix the issue. Not feeling comfortable with the big $$, we happened across Brent at Bennett Automotive and asked him to look at the issue. A few hundred dollars later (a part we were told was bad turned out not to be), we left totally satisfied with his service. Since then, we have found him to always provide honest assessments of the repairs that need to be done and he always stands behind his work. With my sons driving now, we are a 5 car family and I will only trust our cars to Brent! Highly recommend!!
